If you hate yourself, you will end up in Hell. Jesus was against hating anyone, which includes yourself.
Well, many people have self-destructive tendencies. I used to, until I got back into the Church I was "raised in" I put quotes on that because I wasn't exactly raised a devout Catholic, but anyhow--
When young, I was outside the Church and -- Did I ever PAY for it! If I had listened to everything the Church teaches, my life and the lives of others would have been vastly different, as in Better. But foolish me, I didn't listen to such authorities when young. I thought I knew better. (That's one of the bad things about being young.)
So I won't go into great details about just HOW I was ... shall we say: not too kind to myself, but I wasn't. And then I look around and see how others are same - or worse. It is a great tragedy to be against yourself. But when you have a parent who seems to be (is) against you, that happens.
So yeh, you can hate yourself all the way to Hell.
I ask that you please not do this. Jesus can fix any problem you have. But you have to let Him. Say No to the devil who despises you and wants you in eternal misery (Jesus calls it eternal punishment.. Mt 25:31)
If you don't want to turn to Jesus, maybe you could just say to yourself: "I have to stop doing [whatever] because it is not good for me.
